[ Third person POV ]

The ANBU captain was surrounded by ninja from an enemy village. It was Kitsune, dressed in an ANBU uniform and the fox mask he always wore. He put his hand out, like reaching out to a friend, asking a simple question.
"Would you all like to play with me"
The battle field went silent and Kitsune didn't move. This was something Kitsune would always ask when he was against another ninja. It didn't matter if the ninja was an ally or enemy, he would always ask that simple question. Both Kitsune and the enemy, he was up against, stood in silent. Since they didn't answer, Kitsune opened his arms, as if asking for a hug, and started speaking once again,
"Let's all play together and not hold back, okay"

[ Naruto POV]

I woke up from my dream remembering that I was in the classroom waiting for my new teacher to arrive. I always said those things before a fight because, well, I'm just a little boy who wanted to have friends and play, just like everyone else. Since I didn't have that, I started thinking that fights were like games. Games you would play with your friends everyday. It didn't matter if they were allies. It didn't matter if they were enemies. It didn't matter if they answers the question or not. I just wanted to play. If my opponent said 'no' I would have fought with little force. If my opponent said 'yes' I would go a little harder than I would if the person had said 'no'. If the opponent didn't say anything I would go all out. Making sure I didn't pull any of my punches. With all of those answers came a reply. I don't know when it started but, it just became a habit of mine. I know it isn't something that I'd drop easily, even in this facade. Meaning that those four statements weren't going to be held back if I got into a fight very easily and maybe, just maybe, might end up being my down fall. Meaning that this mission, would end in failure and I'd be punished. Something that I've been desperately trying to avoid. No matter what it meant I had to do, I will always avoid getting punishment.
"When is that stupid sensei showing up"
Sakura was wining again and I felt my ear drum break, again. I covered my ear making sure no one could see the blood as Kurama healed it.
"That banshee has to learn how to keep her voice down"
'Haha, your right Kurama'
"Kit did you feel that"
'Yeah'
I didn't put my guard up, but started at the door while my ear was still bleeding. The person that the murderous intent showed his face. It was our new teacher. He wore a mask covering his face up until his nose and his leaf head protector covering his left eye. His hair was shaped liked a fang. He has a presence that seemed really similar to me. I couldn't set up a prank like I planed to because I fell asleep. I removed my hand from my ear and put my head down again. I didn't realize how much blood was dripping from my ear until I placed my hand on the desk. My eyes widened as if I was surprised when I saw the pool of blood on the desk. I focused and felt the blood dripping from my ear to the desk. I placed my hand over my ear again.
'Kurama can you start healing my ear now'
"That banshee needs to learn to keep her voice down"
'Kurama please-'
I got cut off when I heard the man speak to me,
"What happened to you"
I shrugged and put the goofy smile on once again,
"I'm a little sensitive, that's all"
I used my sleeve to pick up all off the blood.
"Okay"
I could see that the man was a little suspicious. I tried talking to Kurama to heal my ear but he didn't answer. Damn, I smiled once again.
"I'll clean this up"
I pushed the man out of the way and ran to the bathroom with blood dripping between my fingers, landing on the floor.

I was cleaning up the blood that dripped onto the floor while I pressed a rag tried my ear. This drop of blood was the last on the floor. I walked back into the class room and saw my new team sitting around the room. I started cleaning the blood stain off the desk.
"Now that we're all in here why don't we start with introductions"
We all looked at our new sensei. I started talking first.
"What are we supposed to say"
"Your likes, your hates. Your hobbies and your dreams. Thing like that"
Sakura said something next,
"Why don't you go first sensei"
"Me"
He pointed to himself,
"My name is Kakashi Hatake. Things I like and things I hate"
There was a short pause.
"I don't feel like telling you that"
I acted surprised.
"My dreams for the future, never really thought about it. For my hobbies, I have lots of hobbies"
That was it. I heard that introduction somewhere but where was it.
"All he really gave us was his name"
Sakura mumbled. A light bulb when off in my head and I accidentally said it out loud.
"Dog"
I looked up to see me and Kakashi make eye contact. I just smiled back as if I said nothing.
"Your turn, you with the blonde hair"
I put my invisible mask on and started messing with my head protector after I put the rag I was using to clean the desk.
"Naruto Uzumaki. I like instant ramen in a cup and I especially like the ramen at Ichiraku noddle shop that Iruka got me. I hate the three minutes you have to wait when you pour the water in the noddle cup. My hobbies are eating different types of ramen and comparing them. My future dream is to become the greatest Hokage, then the whole village will stop disrespecting and treat me like I'm somebody, somebody important"
I saw the slight eye movement that Kakashi had.
"Alright next"
"I'm Sakura Harano. What I like uhh, I mean who I like is..."
She put her hands to her face and started at Sasuke.
"Uhhh my hobby is uhhh...."
She started at Sasuke once again and Sasuke didn'teven give her a glance.
"My dream for the future is..."
She started at Sasuke once more and stuffed her face in her hands. Then squealed.
"What do you hate"
"Naruto"
She yelled making my only working ear drum break and start bleeding. Did the girl forget that we're still in a classroom. I covered that ear with my empty hand. I saw Kakashi look in my direction and see if I could still hear. I tied getting though to Kurama again.
'At least heal one ear so I can hear'
Kurama didn't respond. Damn it. I could feel my anger bubbling up. I had to calm myself down so I wouldn't release any killing intent. This is bad. I could feel the blood from my ear falling onto the desk so I slid the cleaning rage under the dripping blood. I could hear a little bit but not a whisper. I nodded to Kakashi to tell him to keep going.
"Last one"
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha."
I could barely hear what he was saying.
"I hate a lot of things and I don't have anything I like. What I have is not dream because I will make reality. I'm going to restore my clan and destroy a certain someone."
I could barely hear his introduction but I heard enough to understand the situation. This kid was bent revenge. He was aiming to kill his brother, Itachi Uchiha. I sighed, this is going to be troublesome. Kakashi clapped his hands to get all the attention to himself and started speaking.
"Let's all meet up at training ground 7 at five"
He spoke loud enough that I could hear him clearly.
"I advise you not to eat, you might puke"
He vanished, but I could still feel his presence. When everyone left the room Kakashi entered once again. I looked at him and smiled.
"Did you need something Kakashi-sensei"
He aimed murderous intent at me and I felt a real smile tug at the corners of my mouth.

[ Kakashi POV ]

I aimed murderous intent at the boy named Naruto. His eyes showed true happiness and there was a sadistic smile forming on his face. He said something that I thought I wouldn't hear for a long time.
"Would you like to play, Kakashi"
There was only one person who would say those words. I never though that's what he looked like behind the mask. I have to say something quickly,
"No"
Naruto's eyes went cold and his sadistic smile dropped. He put on another smile, but this time it was goofy smile.
"Of course you wouldn't"
I started looking at him suspiciously and the goofy smile stoped as well.

[ Naruto POV ]

My instinct took over, damn it. I gritted my teeth and I looked up at Kakashi, then looked back down. I've got to come up with something right now but my mind was stumped. I let the rag that I was pushing against my ear drop on the desk along with drops of blood. I healed my ears with ninjutsu and looked back up at Kakashi. I aimed murderous intent, just like he did, but added a little more. He was looking at me straight in my eyes and I saw a sweat drop rolled down his face.
"Don't get in my way"
I left the bloodstained rags on the desk and walked out with my head down. When I walked passed Kakashi I made direct eye contact and increased my bloodlust. I let my bloodlust disperse as I walked out of the classroom.

[ Kakashi POV ]

Naruto's eyes went cold when I saw staring into them. There wasn't a single emotion passing though them. I calmed down when he walked out of the room. I put my head down,
"Captain really is a devil"
